Authentic Imitation Fluxus stamp

Yes! That's certainly one of those performances. I have a pic very similar but also has a dismembered, plastic doll - need to scan it. I think the nails are the brilliant part. Fluxus destroyed more concert pianos than all the bands combined in the rock world.

One of my favorites was one in Lithuania - to honor Maciunas - where they poured kegs of beer through the top of the piano and it washed out like a river. That was sorta crude but funny and they misspelled Fluxus as Luxus because they only partially understood.

That's a real fluxus piano I think. Love it.

It would be interesting to see what "imitation FluXus" art looks like. Quite difficult, I think.

I think "Imitation Fluxus" is for those of us who know we just aren't "there" yet.

Glad I'm putting Dw to work :-))) 

I think the FluXus people would love those stamps. 

As far as MinXus is concerned, I'm using them on every envelope. I even stuck one on the Mona Lisa for Cheryl :-)) As they are simple white and black they go with everything. Love them.

Marie, I'm afraid you've convinced Dw that his early adventures are worthy of chronicling. He's busy.

Concert pianos weigh heavily in "old" Fluxus performances & serve as a symbol of sorts. I believe Dw chose a broken harpsichord. Imitation Fluxus, I'm sure, will only be used conservatively.

I am a convert to The Church of Stamps. What about you? I am putting them on envelopes & letters. MinXus goes on everything now.

Dw, you're a natural for stamps. I like the concept of authentic imitation (why the piano?). And the flimsy looking/broken stamp, great! What are you going to stick them on?

Completely different topic, I wanted to bring it up on Lisa's picture but there is some big time self-deletism going on there and I have no idea what the comments where, but could you ask the DLLB if he would consider Da Vinci as one of the Masters for the School? I like him and I think he would fit there.
